Lighten Up!: Bread Pudding

Ha! Bet you thought you couldn’t have both. 🙂 Well, you totally can. You just have to lighten up that old classic and make it a little more bikini season friendly.

Bread pudding is a notoriously rich dessert that is essentially bread soaked in custard-y goodness, then baked and drizzled with some type of sweet sauce. So how do you give it a makeover and still get your fix? Simple! Replace cream with milk, use wheat bread (you can’t tell the difference in this recipe!), and decrease the amount of sugar without sacrificing flavor.

This recipe is from Cooking Light, but I did make a few adjustments due to my incessant need to lighten up desserts….and because I didn’t have some of the ingredients. Feel free to try both versions and choose your favorite!

I have really enjoyed reading about the banana pudding cake, it looks de-lish! Also, your family receipe for banana pudding,and the bread pudding. I put raisins, in mine, just add what you would like. Sometimes I put more than I usually do, then other times it may be just a fourth of a cup. Can’t wait to try “ALL.”
